EAST TIPP BAPTIST CHURCH
In a few days we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving, which is one of favorite holidays. I do enjoy Christmas and celebrating Christ’s birth. The reason I like Thanksgiving so
much is that it’s virtually impossible to market giving thanks. Except for Butterball turkeys and all the food to go along, not much else you can so in the way. That’s a
good thing in light of what is done with Christmas shopping between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 by the Pilgrims in October of that year. It was actually celebrated for 3 days by the Pilgrims and Native Americans. Over the years following Thanksgivings were held always around the November time of year.
It wasn’t until 1863 that Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national holiday as the last Thursday in November. In 1941, the Thanksgiving holiday that we celebrate was made
official as the 4th Thursday of November. Prior to that it was celebrated on the final Thursday of November.
Abraham Lincoln issued the thanksgiving proclamation during the Civil War. I’ve always believed he was a president of great insight and understanding. As you know
Gettysburg had just been fought, the greatest battle in North America. Interestingly enough, 1864 was going to be the absolute worst year of the Civil War and Abraham
Lincoln was bracing to not be re-elected president. However, he saw that in the midst of conflict and tragedy we need to remember God. His proclamation pointed out that in
the midst of war be thankful to God for His blessings.
There’s a song I grew up singing that still rings true in this Thanksgiving season. That song is “Count your Blessings”. My favorite part of the song is the chorus, “Count
your many blessings, name them one by one count your many blessings see what God has done.” As approach the holiday, count your blessings. Maybe you’ve had a diffi-
cult year. Maybe it’s been the hardest year you’ve ever had in your life. Maybe it’s not been all that difficult or hard. The reason Lincoln issued the proclamation was to

remind us to remember God in our lives regardless of the circumstances. Lincoln saw that it would be easy to
bemoan the war and tragedy happening in our country at that time. Lincoln’s purpose was to show God is still
with us. God always loves us. God will never leave us. He is always there. The Greek word for Holy Spirit is
parakletos which means to comfort and come along side.
As you think about Thanksgiving this year, if you know Jesus as Lord and Savior, why not take a moment
and thank Him for your salvation and He loves you every single day!
Pastor Joel
The ladies met Tuesday, October 23 and dined on baked potatoes with all the toppings.
Debbie Phillips gave a devotion showing how a Christian is like a pumpkin. God picks us from the patch, brings us in
and washes all the dirt off. He cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate
greed, ect. He then carves you a new smiling face and put His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.
Then we worked on the table decorations for our annual Thanksgiving Dinner.

enjoy a good laugh among friends
Trip to the Flour Mill & Faith South End Community Center
The ladies went to the Flour Mill at the South End Community Center, November 13. As we ate our donuts we had
to name something that we were thankful for that started with the first letter of our name. We also were shown how to
make small boxes out of greeting cards. Afterwards we shopped at Reclaimed Hope and then toured the center.
This article was derived in part from a book by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias, The Way They Learn: How to Discover and Teach Your Child’s Strengths (1996).
The next combination of perception and ordering yields the learning style of dominant Concrete Random (CR). Several characteristics can be seen in a CR adult, but, remember, these traits are stronger in the child. The dominant concrete random adult
is a notorious risk taker is intuitive, quick-thinking, curious, and
resourceful fights structure and routine is likely to have several careers in a lifetime or two
at once gets in and out of trouble quickly thinks well on their feet considers rules to be simply guidelines finds it difficult to accept limits and restrictions
especially if the rules seem arbitrary or dictatorial believes in being law-abiding citizens but have
trouble with rules and regulations that do not have practical reasons for their existence
and “just because I said so” is almost never accepted without challenge.
The dominant concrete random child displays many of the following characteristics.
usually full of energy, curiosity, and new ideas boredom is the CRs greatest enemy, and school is
viewed as a prison sentence to be served very determined to stay in control of their own
lives do not automatically reject rules and regulations,
but they do expect to have at least some input into how the rules are made and enforced
resist ultimatums; if you say “do this or else,” CRs will most likely do “else”; they may do it without fuss, but know there is nothing they really have to do except die, which they are willing to do if necessary
masters at separating the letter from the spirit of the law; “you didn’t say don’t jump off this chair.” CRs usually thrive with
opportunities for creative alternatives independence freedom to choose options compelling reasons guidelines instead of rules inspiration
So what stresses the CR? They are often stressed by
excessive restrictions and limitations
forced schedules or routines not being appreciated as a unique individual not being given credit for knowing the right
thing to do You can lessen the stress by
lightening up without letting up backing off, not forcing the issue helping the CR figure out what will inspire him encouraging lots of ways to reach the same goal conveying love and acceptance no matter what
There are characteristics of CRs that people with other styles admire. These include
a sense of humor multidimensional personality creativity intuition independence
There are also some negative perceptions that other styles have. They are often perceived as
uncompromising not a team player too many whys impulsive stubborn
As usual, Tobias states that there are Ten Commandments for getting along with CRs. Thou shalt:
1.Tell me “what” not “how”. 2.Have a sense of humor. 3.Point me in the right direction, then let me go. 4.Keep me involved (we need responsibility and
input). 5.Be flexible. 6.Be open to change. 7.Tell me what I did right, not what I did wrong. 8.Don’t be threatened by enthusiasm. 9.Know your limits – then push them. 10.Why do we need ten? In the next article, we will try to put this all together
and utilize it in knowing and understanding why each of us behave the way we do and what we can do with that knowledge.

Did you know that the shape of the poinsettia flower and leaves are
sometimes thought as a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem which led the
Wise Men to Jesus. The red colored leaves symbolize the blood of
Christ. The white leaves represent his purity.

The History of Christmas Trees The evergreen tree has traditionally been used to celebrate winter festivals (pagan and Christian) for thousands of
years. The pagans used the branches to decorate their homes during the winter solstice, it reminded them that spring
was coming. The Romans used the fir trees to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturnalia. The Christians
used them as a sign of everlasting life with God.
The first person to bring a Christmas Tree into a house, as we do today, may have been the 16th century German
preacher Martin Luther. It has been told that one night before Christmas, he was walking through the forest and
looked up to see the stars shining though the tree branches. It was so beautiful, that he went home and told his
children that it reminded him of Jesus, who left the stars of heaven to come to earth at Christmas.
In many countries, different trees are used as Christmas trees. In New Zealand a tree called the 'Pohutakawa' that
has red flowers is sometimes used and in India, Banana or Mango trees are sometimes decorated.

Who is Lottie Moon? Charlotte Digges Moon was born in 1840 in Virginia to a wealthy Christian family. When she
was 18 she dedicated her life to Christ and was baptized.
Lottie started teaching in Kentucky and Georgia. However, God called her to missionary work,
and she was accepted to go to China where her sister was already serving as a mission-
ary. She learned Chinese and taught in a mission school. Eventually she left the work in the
school to travel in the countryside, telling people about Jesus. She baked cookies and put them
out for the children. Through this she got to know their mothers and shared Jesus with them.
Lottie dressed like the Chinese, spoke the language, and practiced their customs so that they would trust her and see
her as a friend, not as a “foreign devil.” Many became friends and listened as she told them about Jesus and his love
for them. Churches were started and many were baptized. During her time in China, there was a war and many were
starving. Lottie gave all of her money to help feed and care for the Chinese people.
Lottie recognized the lack of money often held back missionaries from coming to serve. So she wrote letters to the
churches and mission boards back home, emphasizing how crucial it was to send missionaries so others could hear
about Jesus. Soon the Women’s Missionary Union was born. These women worked hard to help other Christians
understand the importance of missions, and they raised over $3,000, a lot of money in those days, to send three
women to work with Lottie in China. Churches today, still collect money every year during the Lottie Moon
Christmas Offering to support missionary work all around the world.
Lottie died on Christmas Eve in 1913. Because she was willing to go and give of herself in China, many heard about
Jesus, and churches were established that are still there to this day. Because of her passion for missions, many have
given money to help spread the gospel around the world.
